That video made me really uncomfortable, the way Steve says things as if they’re absolute fact when they’re not. I actually tried to find some scientific papers about insulin and “fat burning zone” I couldn’t find anything to support what he was saying. I did find an article by a doctor saying the link between insulin spikes and weight loss was unproven and ineffective though. I mean, it’s what insulin is there for, it’s produced to breakdown food. Also, as everyone has said before, I think she really needs professional help. The cost of Steve probably would have been better spent on a registered dietician to address her ED and establish healthy long term habits. A lot of dieticians agree that demonising foods as “good” or “bad” triggers binge eating disorders, and she seems to do this a lot.
Also, regarding Steve’s program, for me a “triangle” shaped person, he recxomds 45-50 minutes of cardio 3-6 days a week. ON TOP of weight lifting. That’s some serious exercise. I can only imagine that much over exercising would cause injuries. Not to mention I could never sustain that for a prolonged period of time.
